There is an official Highlander RPG (Sword of Ages IIRC) and then there is
the fairly decent adaptions done for World of Darkness (check Zanzibars
page). WoD mechanics are pretty easy to adapt over.

Black Gate Publishing did a game called :"Legacy: War of Ages". It's
Highlander
with different terms, i.e., The Quickening is The Rapture, Watchers are
Monitors,
etc. It's set a few years later than what the TV show would have been, and
they added
a slight WOD-flavor to it, but other than that, it's obviously "inspired" by
Highlander.
